Milton Record.
An Appeal for "The Bread Line."
The Bowery Mission "Bread
Line," at which 1,000 men who
are out in the streets for the night
are given a breakfast of hot coffee
and rolls every morning at one o'
clock, is one of the most pathetic
sights in all the wide, wide world.
Long before the hour of opening.
these poor, starving men stand in a
single line that sometimes extends
for blocks in length, waiting for
tie coffee and rolls. During the
winter, this breakfast is given to
an aggregate of 210,000 homeless
men and boys, and up to date over
half a million of the homeless have
had their weary tramp restfully in
termpted by this unique ministra
tion. The first of these breakfasts
and the last on the following lus
ter morning. Altogether the mis
sion supplied, this year, over 312,
000 meals, and 57,072 lodgings to
homeless men and boys.
It is for this grand, philanthropic
work that we ask your kind and
practical co operation. The home
ss, friendless, disheartened and
dispairing men and boys of the
Bowery are not native New York
ers, but men and boys who, until
within a year, lived happily at the
old homestead with father and
mother, and perhaps wife. They
re stranded here, and in despair

TOWNSMAN HONORED.
Neil Chrisman, who is a student
nt the University of Pennsylvania,
lias been elected president of the
Hare Law Club of the University
an honor that is highly prized by
all law students, and to which no
one is eligible for nunibeiship ex
cept students that rank among the
best in their classes.
A Tloa for an American Peerage.
Those who keep tab on worldly
matters tell us that within the p.iht '
generation upward of four hundred
American girls have married more
or less decorated Europeans, and
that the sum total already paid for
titles is close to the four-hundred-million
mark.
Truly, this is bad liinnagenient
on our part. V e have allowed our
independence and our imperial
scorn of rank and heraldry to cheat
us most ingloriously.
If our American beauties must
have titles, to complete their native
qttccnliucss and crown their for
tunes, would it not be blending
good sense with gallantry to our
selves supply the needed tinsel?
Indeed, ought we not to be asham
edbig, brawny, handsome speci
mens that we are to stand by 111
passive onlooking and see some cf
the fairest of our daughters com
pelled to purchase coronets with
such funny little valentines attach
ed to them?
Before God or a bear, a duke has
no points of superiority above a
lumber-jack. "Your lordship" ris
es no nearer to heaven than "Mike
old boy." It is so writ in the gos
pel of democracy; and there lives
to-day no sound-chested, healthy
fellows on this side the Atlantic
who would swap his title of Ameri
can "Mr." forauy string of prince
ly names and decorations. "Mr."
stands- for Master.
If, therefore, a badge of nobility
is h thing so empty, there would
seem to be no more reason why we
should be so skittish about it than
there is for a horse to stand on its
hind legs in the presence of a paper
bag. Would any one of us be any
less a soverign if Willie Sniffle-Jones
of New Port were dubbed a bar
on? It is not likely. And when
we consider what this innocent en
noblement would mean from the
viewpoint of good statesmanship
we shall be astonished that we have
so long telerated in our imperious
Constitution the fear-inspired
clause forbidding the granting of
titles. For, besides making Willie
haoov and in no wise 'hurting any
body, we should thus be enabled to
juggle him from a social liability to
a very appreciable asset.
A Lord snit le- ones, wun a
pleutitude of good nature and rich
relations, and with a pedigree
which through the aid of an expert
genealogist could be worried back
through the Mayflower to William
the Conqueror, he would prove ir-
resisiible bait lor some goiueu aow-
er which wou'd otherwise have tak
en wings beyond the sea. For it
may be assumed that ouraaugniers
of the rich, in their bargain-huuts
for crests and embroidered names,
would instinctively prefer such as
were tagged with a familiar species
of husband.
An American nobleman, howev
er apish his love of pomp, general
ly be reckoned upon to be chival
rous and clean-Diooueu arm laucucu
with a name that would at least
sound like it looks and not appear
to have been coined in a fit; a man
who, besides the coveted scutcheon,
could give in return something
more than a rheumatic old castle
and a mouldy lineage of soft-headed
drones, and who, furthermore,
through training and heiitage,
whatever be his vices or shortcom-,
ings, would uever forget 'what the
foreiuu nobleman has not yet learn-
ed that his American wife is his
anrial reer and not a mere woman
thrown iuto the bargain with the
purchase prfce of a title. Clifford

DEATH IS PAINLESS.
The fear of death, which has
been so enormously exploited in
dramatic literature, sicred and
otherwise, is said to be almost
without existence in sickness. Most
patients have lost it completely by
the time they become seriously ill.
Death and sleep are both painless,
according to Dr.- Woods Hutchin
011, in the American Magazine,
anJ cause neither fear nor anxiety
by their approach. It is one of the
most merciful things in Nature that
the overwhelming majority of the
poisons which destroy life, wheth
er they are those of infectious di
seases or tho-e which arc elabor
ated from the body's own waste
products, act ns narcotics and abol
ish consciousness long before the
end conies.
While death is not in any sense
analogous to sleep, it resembles it
to the extent that it is in the vast
majority of instances not only not
painful, but welcome. Pain-racked
and fever scorched patients long
for death as the wearied toiler
longs for sleep.
While many of the processes which
lead to death are painful, death
itself is painless, natural, like
the fading of a fbwer or the falling
of a leaf. Our dear ouss drift out on
the ebbing tide of life without
pain, without regrei, save for those
they leave behind. When death
conies close enough so that we cati
see the eyes behiud the mask, his
face becomes as welcome as that of
his "twin brother," sleep.
SPELLING MATCHES.
Same ot tho Caunllos Making an Elbr!
Hold -'Sp.lling.. Sncials.
to
III some of the counties of thi
state an effort is being made to re
vive the old time country spelling
matches, so popular many years
ago. A half .century ago a good
speller was looked up to with as
much veneration find respect as is
the young man who now-a-days
wins honors cn the base ball dia
mond. The old fashioned spelling
schools were beneficial also, be
cause they taught the pupils how
to pronounce words, something
which is lost sight of in many edu
cational institutions tn this country
at present. Then the spelling
matches of long ago were sources
of pleasure to the boys and girls
who attended them and enjoyed a
social hour. Americans have de
generated into very poor spellers.
The business man who has men in
his employ who cannot spell cor
rectly is seriously handicapped.
Nothing affects a busiuess man's
credit and standing in the commer
cial world so'much as poor spelling.
We remember spelling matches
in the bid academy that stood on
the corner of Third and Jefferson
streets, where the residence of Dr.
Montgomery now stands, and also
at the Bloomsburg Literary Insti
tute in its early days. Among the
number that it was almost impossi
ble to "spell down" were the late
D. A. Beckley, who for many
years was Principal of the public
schools, and Prof, Newtou S.
Walker.
In those days it was a common
practice to have spelling matches
in the schools on Friday after
noons, and it would be a good
thing if that excellent custom
would be revived.
Killed on State Railroad.
During Three Months there Wert 302 Fa
talities and 3514 Injured.
The State Railroad Commission
has concluded the tabulation of ac
cidents on steam and electric rail
ways in Pennsylvania during July,
August and September last. The
classification shows the relative pro
portions of the various sorts cf fa
tal and non-fatal accidents. Alto
gether, 302 persons were killed and
3514 were injured during the three
months. Of these the steam roads
killed 253 and injured 2039, and
the electric roads killed 49 and in
jured 1475.
Sixty-four per cent, of the per
sons killed on the steam roads
were trespassers, more than 25 per
cent, were employes and less than
one per cent, were passengers. Of
the injured on steam roads more
than 72 per cent, were employes,
more than 11 per cent, trespassers
and more than 10 per cent, passen
gers.
More than 20 per cent, ot tnose
killed on electric lines were passen
gers and more than 7 : per ceut. of
the injured. Only a trifle more
than four per cent, of those killed
were employes, and less than four
per ceut. of the injured.
At grade crossings the steam
roads killed 21 persons and injured
d8. while the electric roads killed
one and iujured two.

Two fine deer, shot by Irvin A.
Snyder, landlord of city hotel,
Danville, during a hunting trip in
Maine, arrived in that city by ex
press. Mr. Snyder in company with his
friend, Mr. Albright, of Orwigs
burg, left Danville on the 18th inst.
for the hunting grounds of Maine.
The two fine deer that he sent
home constituted tangible
conclusive evidence that the
was not made in vain.
The deer reached Danville

meat market that evening they were
viewed by a large number of people.
Both deer ure bucks, one having
four prongs, being a monster
weighing one hundred and seven-ty-hve
pounds. The other deer is a
spike buck weighing one hundred
and twenty-five pounds.
When it is explained that the
average weight of a deer is slight

estimate of the relative size of the
larger one shot by Mr. Snyder

One of the deer will be placed in
cold storage for use some three
months later, while the other will
be made use of immediately.
Mr. Snyder arrived in Danville
